Nested Lists

Lists can be "nested," that is, a list item can itself contain lists. You can also have a number of paragraphs, each themselves containing nested lists, in a single list item. Remember that the display of an unordered list varies with the viewer. A browser may not provide successive levels of indentation or modify the bullets used at each level. Here's an example of a nested list:

<UL>

<LI> A few western Canadian provinces:

<UL>

<LI> Alberta

<LI> British Columbia

</UL>

<LI> One Pacific North West state:

<UL>

<LI> Washington

</UL>

This nested list is displayed as:

• A few western Canadian provinces:
  • Alberta
  • British Columbia
• One Pacific North West state:
  • Washington
